    I think this is my very favorite of all your videos. Thank you, Kate, for showing me that it is okay to work slowly on a project and that it is also okay to work on several projects at once.

    I showed my father his mother's flower garden quilt top he said he recognised pieces from old shirts he'd worn.

    Watching you play with the pieces as you decide where they should go reminds me of your video where you working on the jigsaw puzzle. Many of the same skills put to use, but here there is no one answer for where to put a piece. Very freeing! No wonder you enjoy it so!

    This is what you call “Lazy”? 😄 Kate, you get more done on a “lazy” day than I do in a week! What an extraordinary, amazing quilt that will be! Your granddaughter is so fortunate to have you as her grandmother. She will cherish this quilt all her life. And she can watch your videos and see how you made it- how wonderful that will be!
    Thank you for recording this, and please keep us updated on the progress of this quilt. You are so talented!

    Thanks so much for showing your design process Kate, it’s exactly what I needed. Ever since I saw your completed Agnes quilt, I’ve been wanting one of my own. I unearthed a “cools” Kaffe Fassett junior jelly roll, and promptly began cutting and thread basting a pile of 1” hexies. I also cut from my yardage stash, since I have few scraps because I’ve only made 2 quilt so far, and one was a jelly roll race, so no real scraps there. But that’s ok. I see fabrics I’ve accumulated over the years as my paints, and now it’s time to start using some of that paint to create the art I want. I’ve not got as much variety as you so far, but I’ve only got about 400 hexies basted, and can shop my stash first for some purples and aquas and teals and blues, because those are the colours I like. Thanks to you, I know I need to have a mix of darks and lights in with my mostly mediums, for a balanced design. Better get out to that hardware store to look for some foamboard that’s thick enough for my pins … and some more painters’ tape to hold my hexies together as I prefer the flat-back seaming method to sew my hexies together. No deadline, so I’m taking my time to enjoy the process. I appreciate all the videos you made on this quilt (& even those where Agnes’s quilt was the backdrop!). Thank you! ~Diana K.

    Hello Kate, Norma and all who are resting on the sofa. Beautiful colors and like that machine you are using. ☔ Here atop my little hill in Idaho the same rainy day has set in. Hope you all will pass these brownies down to the others. Did anyone find the Purple and green tea cozy I left on the sofa last week? If you like it enough to want one, just pick it up and wish yourself up one. Nobody but the one holding it can see it, but then that is one of the things what makes the LGS and magic wishes so much fun isn't it? 💞

    Your cranking the sizzix reminds me of cranking flannel diapers through the wringer washer... Eons ago. Love the layout of the hexies and the cupcake in the middle of it all. I have been watching Robson Green rambling through Northumberland, such beautiful countryside. It's next on my bucket list.

    This is fabulous. A real work of art. I am currently making fabric collage art and have wanted a hand project to work on as well. This quilt for your little granddaughter is so beautiful, it could be hung on a large wall and gazed at for hours. But even more valuable is that you are creating such a piece of art that will make Agnes' visits so wonderful and cozy. You have a real eye for placement of color for a flowing vibe. It reminds me of a little lilly pond we had once (with goldfish). My husband built a pergola above it and we planted heirloom wisteria that draped beautifully over the pond. It drew bees, but it was magical. I have always enjoyed EPP but your Agnes Quilt has to be my favorite of all time. And thanks for sharing your methods. I had been using the glue stick, but now that I think about it, I like your method better. I have really enjoyed watching your videos. Thanks so much!

I have a Grandmother's Flower Garden started using 1930s reproduction fabrics. Maybe someday I'll finish it. I love the colors you are using in your quilt. You have a special touch for putting the colors together. Take care, Kate. Till next time. love. XO

    Love your podcast and hexagon quilt Kate! I'm a new subscriber from Arne and Carlos. I made a queen size Grandmother's Garden from hexagons about 25 years ago. It was all handmade but I traced each piece with pencil on my fabric and cut each piece out by had, No Sizzix machine. I did not use papers just hand stitched the seams. It was on our bed for years but now it is so worn and put away in a cedar chest. That was such a fun project. Yours will be so beautiful. But maybe you have finished it by now, Glad to see you have a kitty. I have two girl kitties and they are so much company, Looking forward to watching more of your videos,

    Hello, Kate. It's good to see you. I've put aside my son and daughter-in-law's quilt to make curtains for my grand daughter's room. I'm using all my scraps and sewing them sort of like a crazy quilt. I have to make six panels and have finished two (have not put lining on yet and grommets). I got her these very cute rods with polka dots in pink, red, green, and blue. And many of the scraps were fabrics I used in her quilt. Right now, her favorite color is pink. I am putting grommets in the curtains so she can open and close them herself. At almost four years of age, she's very into doing everything herself. In less than a month, she will be sharing her mom and dad and me with a baby brother.
    Your hexagons look wonderful. Be safe. And to all of you on the lime green sofa, stay safe, too.

I have noticed your thimble and have tried to find one in the shops in my town in South Carolina. No Luck,, I have a hard time using the timbles I have bought. Please tell me how I can get one like yours. I want to try making a hexagon piece for my dining table. Thank you for teaching us and especially the older ones who have never learned this way to quilt. Adore your cats and your country side. I think it much be wonderful to walk in your country side and see all of God's beautiful creations. Your flowers blooming , and the birdsongs. Thank you for sharing.❤
